John Dwyer and ten other band members who are not calling themselves OSEES but are instead playing Can/electric-Miles-style jazzfunk fusion that's actually really good IMO - Moon-Drenched https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2679881513_10.jpg

Early 70s jazz guitar lp reflecting the influences of the time. Released originally on the black Jazz lp which is getting a reissue series at teh moment. Really nice lp so Glad i came across it, think I will be looking for other titles in the series on the strength of it.

Zappa mid 70-s. I think I lose interest in him shortly after this but the music here is pretty cool· Some of the smugness I hate about him is pretty conspicuous though.
BUt yeah do like some of this, mainly the instrumental passages. Do love that gamelan or whatever derived thing he was doing a couple of years earlier too. & the 60s incarnation of the Mothers were pretty good too.

local area influenced late 50s/early 60s r'n'r era greatness. I think I need more of the series, I think ideally all of the By The Bayou stuff by Ace and the time to become familiar with it as well as all the other stuff i want to hear..
But this is the one cd I have in this specific part of the series which also has a line specialising in r'n'b and one more rock'n' roll focused.

I think I'd dismiss this as commercial grunge or something, though its about 10 years late for that. heavy psychy stuff. has some semi decent bits in it. But I don't really remember having bought this. Could be I picked it up in a local sale or something based on the cover or so9me variation on that scenario.
I found it a few weeks ago in the place of the 3rd cd in my Grateful Dead Dick's Picks #16. So I really hope that GD disc is somewhere in my room
THis is pretty enjoyable

this is so good, it's like an avant-garde summer album - sort of avant-garden.

Funny, I was listening to this this afternoon

Anthony Braxton and pals at teh Town hall in 1972. Possibly more melodic than I might have though. Still pretty abstract.
I had this in the mid 90s after picking it up from a sale in Dublin. Lost it a few years alter and replaced i last year.
I'm not very familiar with Braxton so not sure to what extent this is representative of him.
Enjoying it though, like keeping to about a week on the 3changer for 3 titles cos it does mean I become more familiar with the music involved. Do wonder what else I need from braxton though.
This has some weird elements in it, like the wordless scat singing on a couple of tracks. Nice bass anyway.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/ab3cdee00e429920316ba81a495232a5/2594988
Secretly Canadian version of teh 2nd Swell maps lp. THis is growing on me sounds like either production or representation of that production is odd and sounds like i has gauze across it.
Anyway nice semi amateur Krautrock influenced post-punk weirdness that appears to be cited as an influence by quite a few bands I grew up liking. Plus saw Epic Soundtracks several times with the Howard Brothers version of Crime & The City Solution.
Have been thinking of getting the SC version of a trip TO marineville too.
Have actually wanted to get hold of teh Secretly canadian versions of these lps for years but wound up getting the Mute version of Marineville cos i never saw the Sc around.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/8ecd23f02b3c6494dfce1f55cbaea3ee/3092535
2nd disc of the Hi lps compilation by Ann Peebles with Straight From the Heart & I can't Stand the rain on it.
She has a great voice in places. I mean doesn't seem to be overly showy and does convey feeling.
Backing band also pretty good.
Have had this for ages and not played it in probably too long.
Like bits of this area of music and should probably know what else from this rough area I really should know.

I love Ann Peebles. "Not overly showy" is an apt description, and I can hear how she never hit the heights of Aretha or Mavis, but she's a really affecting singer. Others I grab for when I'm in that mood: Mable John and Ruby Johnson (both compilations on Stax, much of it surprisingly unreleased at the time) and Candi Staton.

“I don’t lend my man” is another great Ann Peebles track. Love that Willie Mitchell Hi records sound!
